We are not better than anybody else, but maybe today they are stronger and can lift someone up, so that one day when they cannot lift themselves up, someone will return the favor. The heritage for kindness is long-lasting, like a never-emptying tank of gas. But selfish-ness won't get you a mile to where you want to go.<br /><br />From one mom of sons to another - great post!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704768195528999087.post-46876314201701366942010-09-29T00:49:11.359-04:002010-09-29T00:49:11.359-04:00Beautiful, and amen.Beautiful, and amen.Cobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14704408483741211604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704768195528999087.post-50083475935445883712010-09-28T22:17:28.758-04:002010-09-28T22:17:28.758-04:00love doesn't hurt...what a lovely thing to tea...love doesn't hurt...what a lovely thing to teach your boys.sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10407880075964040578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704768195528999087.post-20177277985042928842010-09-28T21:38:11.735-04:002010-09-28T21:38:11.735-04:00As a mother of a son and a daughter, I treasure th...As a mother of a son and a daughter, I treasure these words.
